As children complete this activity, they are learning to:-recognize and identify basic colors-recognize familiar two-dimensional shapes-listen to oral directions to attend to a simple task-respond to simple questions-learn words linked to content being taught-use their helping hand to stabilize objects and papers-use the same hand consistently to hold crayons-use their fingers to hold crayons-use their index finger to trace colors
